better late than never, right?

my aunt came for the weekend - easter lunch was at the lake at Sinclair's

no she's not walking on her own yet, my babies like to be well beyond 1 before they whip out the walking skills, but she enjoyed this aided walk by the water

Later we visited with Jonathan's family also. As you know Easter was also on the anniversary of Dad's death (which is also Jonathan's parents anniversary, his sister's birthday and our nephew's birthday). A day that's always loaded with celebration and remembrance, but this year shared the joy of celebrating the resurrection. It was a wonderful day as we were surrounded by family, filled with the love of Jesus, encouraged with sweet words and we felt as though Dad was near to us. My sister-in-law Alinda told us she started her day (her birthday) in prayer for Mom and me and my mother-in-law told Mom she thinks of March 23rd as a day of joy for my dad because he went Home on that day. Yes, we were saddened because we miss him daily, but we were uplifted and encouraged as well.

I am a wife, mother of four, daughter, sister and friend. I am seeking to grow and learn through the moments and events of my life (both great and small). Any and all growth, change, strength, or shred of wisdom comes from the mercy of God through Jesus. This is my place to share and explore these great and small moments that come together to create my life.

"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts." Charles Spurgeon
